[Key Lecture Content]

Why is society becoming chaotic and unstable, even though technology is advancing and the world should be getting richer? Why is the world so intensely divided? What will the future of the world look like? How should Japan and the Japanese people survive in the face of an uncertain future?

To answer these many questions of modern people, we need future thinking that goes beyond future prediction. The former Head of the President's Office/Executive Officer of SoftBank, which became the No. 1 company in market capitalization in Japan, will explain the five techniques of future thinking (history, omens, structure, probability, assumption) from multifaceted perspectives such as economics, technology, demographics, and geopolitics.
